M-Class Standard Equipment
	- 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission, including steering wheel gearshift buttons The 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission increases ride comfort with exceptionally smooth gearshifting. The seven forward gears allow for smaller shifts in engine speed in spite of a greater overall ratio spread. The system can also skip individual gears, changing directly from seventh to fifth gear, for example, which is ideal for overtaking manoeuvres. Together with very short shift times and low noise levels, the 7G-TRONIC significantly increases driving dynamics and also makes a significant contribution to reducing fuel consumption.   - 95 litre fuel tank   - Airbags - Two-stage front airbags for driver and front and passenger, sidebags in front and rear plus windowbags   - Anti-lock braking system (ABS) - Audio 20 AM/FM radio with integrated 6-disc CD changer and (ML 300 CDI BE, ML 350 & ML 350 CDI BE)   - Brake Assist System (BAS)   - DIRECT SELECT steering-column gearshift with steering-wheel gearshift buttons - Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) The Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) supports the driver on steep downhill drives. A press of the button is all the M-Class needs to drive downhill at the driver’s desired vehicle speed as long as the roadholding and incline angle allow for it..   - Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and Electronic Traction Support (4ETS) ESP®/4ETS enhances safety in critical driving situations. It is a dynamic handling control system which can maintain/restore traction and handling through appropriate intervention of wheel brakes and engine management. On unpaved surfaces in terrain driving all you need to do is press the off-road button to get the maximum possible traction through ESP®/4ETS..   - NECK-PRO active head restraint system, front The crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraint system is designed to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries. NECK-PRO is fully integrated in the front head restraints. The system supports the head at an earlier stage when it recognises a rear-end collision. If the sensors register a crash, they release a pre-tensioned spring that pushes the head restraints forwards and upwards. After deployment, the head restraints can be manually returned to their original position.   - PARKTRONIC parking assistance system The electronic parking aid PARKTRONIC monitors the front and rear of the vehicle during manoeuvring and warns the driver if a potential collision is recognised. If the system registers an obstruction, it provides a visual signal. As soon as the distance is less than approximately 35 cm, a short warning sound is emitted. When the vehicle gets even closer (less than approximately 25 cm away) a continuous signal is heard. PARKTRONIC uses this procedure to make parking easier, even when limited space is available.   - Permanent all-wheel drive   - PRE-SAFE® system With reversible belt tensioners, automatic positioning of the front passenger seat (only in conjunction with memory package), automatic closing of the side windows and sun roof (if fitted).   - THERMATIC automatic climate control   - UCI Media interface connection for AUX-IN, iPod ntegration and USB in glove compartment (Connection cables included)
